Good times celebrating my friends birthday as well as the holidays! It's a great gathering spot, just like its name. They serve delicious food, from chicken wings to a killer spinach dip! I have to come here on a regular night and enjoy everything on the menu, it's such a variety judging from the reviews on yelp. One week I was celebrating a friend's book signing, the next week was a friend's birthday party... so it's used for a variety of events. Service was pleasant also.

Joined my sister, who is a member at The Gathering Spot, to visit the space for the first time. I have driven past many times and even explored applying to be a member once. I ultimately decided to not join because I work better at home, but I was very impressed by the space. They have a free valet, restaurant (with free food for members daily) with two bars, a large event space, a cool lounge, over a dozen conference/phone/meeting rooms and a recreation space. I went on a random Monday and it was still pretty busy but quiet and clean. I was impressed by the politeness and professionalism of the staff. The menu had more variety than I expected, and the food was solid. If I were looking for a coworking space where I could network then I'd seriously consider it.

TGS is a gorgeous space, with lots of natural light. I came as a guest of a member for a remote working day. They also serve breakfast and lunch/dinner. Work spaces: The wifi is strong; I was able to take calls without issues. Members can rent rooms for up to 2 hours/day, so I spent some time in a room. There was a screen and a white board. Downstairs is better suited for dining in or meetings, since it's louder with music playing. Upstairs is quiet and there are a few different seating areas. It's set up like a co-working space in that there are rooms, a few phone booths, and other commons areas. But I don't believe they have hot desks and no comfortable office chairs. Food: I ordered lunch and sat at the bar. There lots of tables as well or you can order to-go if you're upstairs. Prices are on par with other places in walking distance. I got a Caesar salad and birria egg rolls. The salad was standard, light on the croutons. But the eggs rolls were really good! Meat was tender and the sauce drizzled on top paired nicely. There's also a full bar that looks well curated. Parking: $20 valet if you're a guest. I parked on the street though because most valet on Adams just parks your car on the street anyways. Other spaces: Bathrooms are super clean. There's a filtered water station upstairs. I believe there's a basement space as well, but I didn't get a tour so not sure. Overall, it seems like a great place for collaborating and networking, especially with other black professionals. I'm really picky with my work station though so it's not an ideal working space for me to work for a full day, but that tracks since it's a social club not a co-working space first.

Menu for a private event

There is street parking. I was able to find something pretty quickly, but it just depends. I went to a private event for my friend's birthday and they had about 100 or so people here. The bartenders are doing their thing working quickly and they allow you to have a DJ. There's a lot of seating area and they had a chef to cooking food. It's a very nice spot for events or networking. I highly recommend. The ceilings are very high so you don't feel closed in.

Welcoming and attentive staff, along with a beautiful venue. I highly recommend The Gathering Spot, they are a great addition to the community.

My brother in law invited us to be his guest. There's either valet or street parking. We were able to find nearby parking. When we are inside, we didn't realize we needed to be specific to who invited us and where we are going. My brother in law eventually escorted us to the table for dinner. Love the vibe and space. The service was a little slow. Eventually he arrived with water and a menu. He lacked the attention and protocol but it might be how it's structured. The food and beverage was very very delicious. I decided to get dessert but couldn't find my server. I ended up speaking to another server who helped us. Overall the evening was nice. We got a tour of the location before we left.

The Gathering Spot is truly a very beautiful location, aesthetically pleasing and great atmosphere. I am not a member but I do have a friend who is and brought me in as a guest for their Friday after work hour event. The music was soooo good. The space is truly breathtaking. They have games such as Jenga, etc. to keep everyone entertained. My friend was letting me know that downstairs has an event space. There is an upstairs area where there's a working space to work and network if there's people there. That was pretty cool to find out. The main floor was the dining area and private suites for people to host meetings or a private event and then they have the bar. Just vibrant. My server was super kind and accommodating. He allowed us to move our seats. I ordered the chicken and waffles. The waffles was a waffle but the chicken was really great seasoning. My friend ordered the salmon bowl which she bragged about and the server also said was a best seller. The price was a good price. The drinks are super huge and tasty. If you're a member, parking is free. They also serve breakfast for free in certain hours. However if you are not a member, I did find parking. It did take me a loop around the block. So parking is not the greatest. But you can get lucky and it is metered parking as well. Or you can valet for $20 as a nonmember. I would definitely join because of the atmosphere BUT I live alllll the way in the valley. But if they ever open up a valley space, hint hint wink lol I would definitely join. I like what they stand for. Plus the artwork is beautiful.

I came to The Gathering Spot as a guest for the Black Therapist Meet and Greet, and now I'm considering becoming a member. It's a beautiful space, with two different bar areas. Upstairs is a co-working space with private rooms for individual use as well as conference rooms for groups. On the basement level, there is a space for private events. There is daily breakfast available for member as well. Best part is that the venue was brimming with Black professionals interested in building sustainable community. The Gathering Spot exudes excellence without the pretentiousness that other social clubs have.

I've been a member of TGS for about 8months so it's about time I update my review. While I enjoy the idea of what a social club is suppose to be, TGS has some pain points that I must address. Parking/valet- parking in the neighborhood is scarce, and when there's an event or typical Friday mid morning, valet will most likely be at capacity. The restaurant/bar is delicious, but food/beverage isn't always available if the restaurant is closed due to an event or if a 3rd party vendor is renting it. I came by on a Saturday early afternoon to have brunch and get work done, however it was a ghost town and the restaurant closed. There was no coffee, tea, or water available. Unacceptable. There should always be coffee and hot/cold water offered at minimum, in the upstairs coworking area. Lastly, the events in LA aren't as attractive compared to DC and ATL. They're just not.

Place you can work and get it done lol

Always a vibe!!!!!! Food pretty good and the drinks are nice. I honestly love the service here! And the events!

Great space for group meetings. Plenty of space, very clean and crisp. They have valet parking $20 because parking is a bit challenging.

Alright y'all, this is my favorite cocktail bar in LA right now. From ambiance, to drinks, and top…read morenotch customer service. Definitely recommend making reservations. They start you off with a welcome cocktail that was fruity & fresh. We ordered their matcha martini, more cowbell, & sky daddy & tzatziki martini. Our favorites were the more cowbell (Vodka, Pear Brandy, Salt-cured Pears, Roquefort, Michelleberger, Lemon, French Baguette Air) The last ingredient AIR was mind blowing!! Another favorite is the tzatziki martini which was like a Mediterranean martini (Gin, Aquavit, Cucumber, Dill, Mint, Lemon, Yogurt, Clarified) The sky daddy is as also good with a mix of unique ingredients- Fig and Sumac Rye, Brown Butter. Banana, Bitters. Great option for the whiskey lovers. The ambiance is old London vibes without the British accents. The cocktails are great quality. And our server Rose took incredibly great care of us. Looking forward to being back, cheers!

Bar Benjamin has been on my list for a while, and it finally happened in the most Los Angeles way…read morepossible: I just walked in without a reservation and decided to see if the universe wanted me to have a cocktail. Spoiler: it did. This is a proper little upstairs lounge with a separate entrance from the restaurant. It's small, dim, and vibey in a way that makes you immediately lower your voice like you're in a movie scene. The sound system is legit, too. The music leaned more R&B than "generic cocktail bar playlist," which I appreciated. It feels intentional without trying too hard. They started me with a welcome drink that had tequila and fennel. I had a couple sips. Not my favorite flavor combo, but also not offensive. Kind of like a polite handshake you forget about five minutes later. For my actual drink, I ordered the Uptown Girl. Very boozy, which I say as someone who respects a cocktail that shows up ready to work. It's one of the few whiskey drinks on the menu and it landed in that Manhattan-adjacent zone. Spirit-forward, smooth, and absolutely not something you throw back unless you want to text your ex. I drank it slowly and felt extremely mature about it. The cocktail menu is fun, too. Creative names, lots of concoctions, and you can tell the bartenders are really making things, not just pouring and stirring. Even if you're not a cocktail nerd, it's entertaining to watch. If you want a low-lit lounge with great music, a strong drink, and the kind of atmosphere that makes a random weeknight feel like an occasion, Bar Benjamin is worth the visit.

The cutest hole in the wall bar that I have found. Stumbled upon it by accident and fell in love…read morewith the ambiance. It's dark but has warm lighting and really cool decor such as upside down stools and fireplaces on the ceiling. My bartenders Matt & Kelsey were super friendly & made some fire drinks. The menus are aesthetic to look at because drinks are categorized by type of liquor, each drink described in detail and each description is accompanied by a picture of what the drink is supposed to look like. However, there is no food menu just alcoholic drinks. I found parking across the street where the CVS & WholeFoods are located. I didn't have any issues, but I only parked there for about 2 hours. Right before I left, the bartenders helped me discover a secret entrance to the bar next door. When you walk in you'll notice a bookshelf, if you slide that bookshelf to the right, you'll open the entrance to the bar next door. Pretty cool! Will definitely come back again.

I work across the street from the Maybourne Beverly Hills and have been a regular at the lobby bar…read more Unfortunately, I've had repeated negative experiences with one specific staff member, Elton and it has now reached a point where I feel compelled to speak up. On multiple occasions, Elton has given me poor service and a noticeable attitude. I chose to overlook it at first, but eventually I brought it to management's attention because the treatment was consistent and unacceptable. After that complaint, the situation escalated. When I returned, Elton refused to serve me altogether. He would not look at me, acknowledge me, or take my order. I was left sitting there while being completely ignored. It became so obvious that other guests sitting next to me noticed and were concerned enough to step in and ask him why I wasn't being helped and to tell him to serve me. That should never have to happen. I then asked for the manager I had previously spoken to, Leo, because I wanted to understand what was going on. I still have not received any clear explanation. What's most concerning is that this behavior feels intentional. No employee in hospitality gets to decide who they will or will not serve based on personal feelings. If a staff member's feelings are "hurt" after a complaint, that does not justify refusing service to a guest. That is not professionalism--that is the opposite of hospitality. It was honestly disturbing enough that the people next to me told me directly that it didn't feel right and that I shouldn't come back because it seemed like I wasn't wanted there. That is not okay, especially at an establishment of this caliber. I am actively trying to get in touch with someone at the hotel who can properly address this situation, because this needs to be taken seriously. No guest should ever feel ignored, singled out, or unwelcome in this way.

I saw the Caviar Indulgence Omakase on TikTok and I knew immediately that I had to surprise my mom…read morewith this experience for her birthday. I emailed the bar to make a reservation since the online system was down, and they emailed back immediately to confirm -- and even said they would surprise my mom with an extra birthday cake! Now all I had to do was wait 3 weeks until her visit so the experience could finally happen. The day arrived and I got my mom to Maybourne Bar with her none the wiser. From the moment we stepped through the door, the experience was a 1 million out of 10. Every course is unbelievable. This is a caviar tasting in the best way -- all nine courses are topped with generous helpings of delicious N25 caviar. You get sweet, salty, savory, comfort food, upscale dining, everything comes together in the absolute best way. I especially loved the deconstructed deviled egg and the lobster roll, and the ice cream was some of the best I've ever had. The chips and dip came with the cutest miniature potato chips (although I'll admit I could have used a few more), and the caviar salmon burger was super flavorful. And, true to their word, they surprised my mom with a birthday cake -- and then surprised us both with complimentary lychee cocktails! The service was impeccable as well. Each person on the waitstaff was kind, helpful, and accommodating. We loved how descriptive they were of each dish. It was also really nice of them to decide to give us an extra 2-top so we would have room for all of the courses. This is not only an incredible tasting menu, but made even more incredible by the price. 10 courses and a glass of champagne are $85. I was honestly shocked at how much we received for under $100. I cannot recommend this experience highly enough. This is a true gem in Beverly Hills. I'm already planning my next visit!
